Question: about enlarging, do any of you know how much fabric this will take? I bought 8yards and dont know if that is enough. for 10inch squares.

I am doing my quilt with 10" blocks set on point. It will end up being approximately 92 x 106 - or if I use sashing between the blocks it will end up about 96 x 111. EQ tells me that for the blocks, setting triangles and the large border which I think I will make 8", I will need 7-1/2 yards of fabric. Lesley had suggested early on 9 yards for good measure. I am not sure how accurate EQ is for yardage, so I bought the 9 yards that Lesley suggested and it appears I will have more than enough.

She has very good instructions on how to do it.

I've found that EQ is normally very generous in the fabric estimates, so you should be fine.
what a shopping trip! I'm not sure if my monitor is showing the right color...is that a rust type color with your b/w's? How are you planning on doing your color layout? (So your DH thinks that "real" men don't do Pink???) LOL!
